No wonder the occupation failed, with the forces of freedom being infiltrated by such agents of oppression.

I ask because I found that Firefox sometimes blocks pics here, I use another browser and can see them.

I suspected there was an image that was not loading, and I am on Firefox. I just started having that problem about three weeks ago... I'll have to look into that, thanks.

It won't open any embedded link to RT, but Chromium will.

It won't show images half the time, here and other places.

It won't show videos on a page sometimes, just a blank place.
It won't even OPEN some web pages, just sits there and refuses to , but at other times says there are not available, but Chromium goes straight to them.

I am depending on Chromium more and more.

lately too. I usually just force a reload and most of the time it works or if there is a placeholder icon for an image I can at least right click and view the image. For videos I reload once or twice and that usually works. But what gets me most is that it won't open my e-mail account half the time when I sign in.

I'll be looking into Chromium, who owns/built that?

32. Chromium is Google Chrome light.

Very fast, has lots of good things, like a much better auto fill for saved passwords and much more intuitive settings tools.
Also lots of good extensions.
But...it's Google, so there are some things I prefer to use my VPN for in Firefox, cause reports are Chromium can "peek" into real ISP while using VPN.
For me, Chromium plays online videos with various formats with out any hesitation, I have to fight with Firefox to do that now.

We are keeping our eyes open for a couple of open source browsers which are being tested now.

Oh..I should mention...we use Linux.

but I guess I should look into it too. Not impressed with what I read on the site for Chromium, and I had to use Chrome at work, don't like it. Plus, I never use saved passwords of much of the things you do, got a pretty simple lif going on I guess.

Thanks for info, it gives me a starting point and knowing it isn't my old laptop is comforting.
